Mastermind Group Forming - Very Limited - Newbies Welcome

14 replies
****UPDATE - Marked off some taken slots within the group****

Hi Everyone. I am a big fan of Mastermind Groups. In case you are unfamiliar (which I'm sure most of you are not), a Mastermind Group is a group of individuals who meet regularly, either in person or virtually, to share ideas, brianstorm, learn from one another, kick the sh**, create JVs, and so on.

So here is the deal. I would like to form a very small group, preferably newbies because they always seem to get left in the dust, to see what we can accomplish when we take the ideas, experience, knowledge and drive of the individual members and apply it toward a common goal to finally make some serious cash online.

My idea is sort of a Mastermind/JV all wrapped into one. It will be a select group, probably 10-12 people, but we'll see how it goes. It is important that we gain experience from different areas in order to make this thing work, so if you are interested, here is what we need:

The Programmer - Our go to guy/gal who has a programming background. You can do scripts, WordPress, Minisites, PHP, Flash, CSS, XHTML, and everything in between.

The Designer - Banners, Graphics, logos, Ads, E-Book Covers, Etc are your specialty.

The Seller - Sales is your game and you are DAMN good at it! Copy writing, Squeeze Pages, persuasive content, marketing, and more.

The Back Office - A Maven of research, data collection, CS, administrative, typing, forum posts, backlinking, organization, etc.

**FILLED**The Writers - Content for Article Marketing, websites, blogs, e-books, etc. (I'll take the wheel here, but I'm sure we will need at least one more - preferrably a blogger).

***FILLED***The SEO Guru - OK, you don't have to be a guru, but you need to know your game. Help us optimize everything for the web - WHITE HAT ONLY!

The Business Head - Someone who can help with fortifying JVs, getting the paperwork in order, business trends, Entrepreneurship, etc.

The Socialite - Twitter, Facebook, Squidoo, Delicious, Digg, etc are your specialty.

***FILLED 1 - NEED 1 ****The Starving Artist - You love to create Video - Podcasts and the like. A photographer would be great also, we are going to need some high quality photos, etc.

The Geek - Gadgets, Gizmos, iPhone Apps, iPads, Android Apps, and more will be your specialty. Unlike the programmer, you will specialize more in hand held devices and their technology.

The Watcher - You are a news junkie, watch trends, find alerts or anything related to our goals/products/services.

So here is the deal. PM me or leave a note in the thread if you cannot PM yet. Note which of the titles above best describes your talent and why you want to join the group.

We will meet virtually 1x per week to start and see how this goes so you will have to have the ability to get online and join a web-conference at least 1x per week. This will require a mic and headset and a web cam would be ideal. You will also need a free Skype account.

No one part is better than the others, collectively we are a force. You must be dedicated to the group and commit to the time. When I say newbies, I mean newbies to Internet Business, IM, and Affiliate Marketing, etc, not a newbie to your specialty. Just to be clear.

Alright, if there is any facet I may have missed which you think is something you could contribute, just let me know.

Let's Do This!

PS. I have a free .pdf copy of "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill for anyone who is interested in learning more about his take on Masterminds. The book is a classic, filled with so much timeless information. It has become a MUST READ for anyone in business.

    Hi there

    I'm very much a newbie on the Warrior Forum and some of the more technical aspects of SEO and online marketing but I'm a freelance blogger, writer, editor and "social media guy".

    I love the idea of forming a focused group to share and learn and make some cash... at the moment I run and edit Freelance Advisor (.co.uk) and would love to get involved if you need a back office or editorial guy.

    Look forward to hearing from you.

    Just for clarification, are you collecting a group force for some project of your or is it a mastermind group to push & mentor everyone in his/her projects?

    Are you still building this mastermind group? I'll volunteer for the second Starving Artist position--I love creating non-live video (e.g., screen captures, photomontages, PowerPoint-style videos, etc.) using stock photography, stock video, and my own creativity. Otherwise, I'm awesome at content research and data collection (Back Office).

    Thanks!

      Sounds interesting. Since I am also a freelance writer, I can be in the Writers area. But it's filled already. :-(

        Hi, I'm very good programmer and designer. I do PHP, MySql, XHTML, CSS, Flash Actionscript 2 and 3, Papervision 3D. I have only once worked with WordPress, it was boring for me, but I can do it.
        I also do Banners, Graphics, logos, Ads.

        But I still don't understand what should Mastermind do, or who is the Mastermind, how much hours a day it takes to be a Mastermind...:confused: Sorry, english is not my native language

    Hi Deidre,

    I love the sound of the Mastermind Group, I think it's a great idea and I've been looking for some things to stretch my skills on.

    I'm your sales guy. I'm a great copywriter and I LOVE testing (I'm a graduate physicist, so any sort of experiment gets me excited!), which means my sales letters / pages and websites are tweaked constantly for maximum conversions.

    I do a lot of PPC too, so getting good at split testing was, basically, a necessity.

    Let me know if you want to know more. I'm on Skype 24/7 if you want to hit me up. My handle is WillQuickIMB.

    All the best

    I have a degree in Computer Science and have been managing ecommerce websites for the past 6 years and have just recently started getting into the IM game on the side.

    I could fill several roles you have in the group. Let me know.
